Une Canadienne Errante

That's me! Just another wandering Canadian, moving around the globe, always looking for my next adventure and my next destination! I started this blog because, before I made the decision to move to Mongolia, I wanted to see what my new city would look like, but all I could find when I searched for images of Mongolia were landscape images. I had no clue what Ulaanbaatar looked like right up until the day I landed. This blog was born so maybe other people might have a better sense of what Ulaanbaatar looks like, if they want or need to know. I've been an expatriate in Ulaanbaatar since September, but before that, I lived in Korea, Kuwait, and France. I'm considering moving to Myanmar in June-- I'll keep you posted. I'm kind of a homebody and a loner, but I also like to walk around a lot, which provides plenty of opportunities for pictures and observations. Being a loner, I rarely share my observations with others, but I'll share some here. I never proofread and rarely edit, so sorry in advance for all the typoes that are likely to sneak their way into this blog.

What Ulaanbaatar Looks Like

I like this photo.  I think it shows what Mongolia is like.  Capitalism, billboards for things most people here can't afford, an amusement park (I think the priorities might be a little backward for that one), and lots and lots of construction.  Actually, even though I think the money for the amusement park would have been better spent on other things in Mongolia (such as helping the poor, subsidized housing, improving standard of living, etc), it is a nice little park.  If it weren't so chilly outside, I just might go just for the heck of it one day.  I walk past it every week when I go to the black market (which ought to be another entire post).
